Then, too, the Texas farmers and ranch-

000,000 worth of farm and livestock products each year.
Thus the farmers and ranchers of our
state receive nearly 200 million dollars a year as their
share of oil’s total expenditure of 750 million dollars
annually in Texas. These 200 million dollars in turn flow
into every channel of Texas trade.

Washington, April 10—Prepare
to shed a tear for our Congres-
sidnal overlords. The Steering
Committees for the Senate and
House are confronted “with a real
dilemma in arranging the program
for the balance of the session.
They are caught in a -nut-cracker
movement of deciding between
public demands for certain legis-
lation and the question of partis-
an expediency. The Capitol Hill
chieftains utilizing all parliamen-
tary devices at their command
are, so to speak, between .. the
devel and the deep blue sea in
matters of policy—arranging what
controversial subjects will be per-
mitted to come before their col-
leagues for debate and yote.- The
arbitrary sorting .ofbills to discard
those not wanted by the White
House and to appease belligerent
blocs at. the same time is indeed a
monumental task.
If the political season was not
tmfull blast, the lawmakers could
easily shut up shop by May 1.
That they jntend to keen operat-. ---- -----— -- .___ -
mg until till- nominating conven-1 >>ne hundred students are attend-
tion is now apparent.- The lead-
ers concept as to what pending
legislation is important is often in
conflict with the rank and file of
the membership. 'The strategy
wh.ich seems to motivate current
maneuvers is for the .. Senate to
pass a highly controversial meas-
ure ~with~the—understand ingthat
the House will, keep it pigepn-
on similar forced action by the
Lower Chamber. It is the old
game of buok-passing in which
they go through all thc-motions
forearmed with the knowledge
that the bills will fail of final
passage. . .
The situation surrounding the
amendments to the National La-
bor Relations Act and the Wage
and Hour Law are cases in point.
The House is booked to make
changes in the N; L. R. A. in re-
sponse to a positive demand. As-"
suming the Senate broke the
tracts and followed suit, the op-
ponents of change would still do-
minate the conference and be in
a position to‘enforce ihhocuous
minded folks. The reapportion-
ment, of course, has no effect op
the Senate as there are Consti-
tutional limitations of two from
each state without regard to popu-
lation. Sitting -House members
sometimes suffer political upsets
when switches are made and their
old districts are shuffled. While
on the subject of political futures,
it is well to remember that many
apple-carts will be upset before
the billion dollar relief fund is
approved. Congress has obvious-
ly abandoned its early pretense of
saving the taxpayer’s money in a
campaign year.
Some folks boast about sending
their youngsters to “exclusive
colleges. Yet there is a school in
Washington maintained by the
taxpayers, which is probably the
most exclusive institution in the
country. Relatively little is
known about the War College lo-
cated on the Potomac. It is the
finishing school for Army officers
and no students are accepted un-
der the rank of captain. Only

counties in Alabama, Arkansas,

Mississippi, Missouri. North Caro-

Tennessee, ^Texas.^an^^Virginia.
Hockley, Collingsworth, Van
Zandt, Nolam San Saba, Rusk,
Lavaca, Frio, McLennan and Aus-
Un, were designated to undertake
the demonstration.
As success in the demonstra-
tion counties warrants, the pro-
gram will be extended to otlier
states and counties. It now seems
possible for Montague county to
be included in the program.
Following are questions con-
cerning this program and their
answers:-
1. How did the program start in
Texas?
The State Extension Service
held a conference March 1, 1940,
at College Station, Texas, with
.representatives of the state AAA
committee, FSCC and other state
agencies and organizations to
learn the details of the demonstra-
tion and plan for its successful
operation in the state. Co-6pera-
. tion of all agencies was assured
and each agency agreed to notify
its district and county representa-
tives of the.county meetings and
request their attendance;'
■ 1. What cuunties ate eligible
to participate in the program?
Counties having both a white
county agricultural _ agent and
2 T demonstration agent may
participate in the cotton mattr<>ss
demonstration program. Where
desirable,’ special arrangements
will be made in- these counties
--for negro families. . -—
3. When may the demonstration
be undertaken in a coUnty?
The cotton mattress demonstra-
tion program may be started in a
county when nl k-x-' ."i»- hun.lie.i
and twenty rural families of a
<yunty have been certified by the
“ JUa committee, when a county
group agrees to care for the stor-
age and transportation of cotton,
when a committee of the county
home demonstration council
agrees to handle or have handled
, the purchase of thread, needles,
etc., when community committees
and centers are arranged for.

Ma May Get In
The probable entrance of Ma
Ferguson into the race furnished
another crop of rumor?. If the
Fergusons get in, it is a cinch that
the gubernatorial race will be the
main show. Jim Ferguson has
bfien a power in Texas politics too
many years "for any campaign in
which he takeypart. -wiurMa as
the candidate, to be anything but
the main attraction.
• Jerry Sadler, opening his drive,
didn’t have a hill-billy band, but
he did try to outdo OfDaniel as “a
>osed the sales tax, but advocated
>40 pensions instead of $30, by
amending the Stateconstitution; a
burial fund for putting the pen-
sioners away when they die; and
State appropriations to match
county funds for relief of unem-
ployable charity cases.
Ernest Thompson, a sure en-
trant, declared his opposition to
the sales tax and the transaction
tax, pointing out that the latter is
nothing but a multiplied sales tax,
and let it be known that he will
drive hard for increased oil taxes

(Any opinion expressed in this
column is the opinion of the writ-
er, and does not necessarily re-
flect the policy of The News or
its editor).
Gov. W. Lee O'Daniel, announc-
ing his candidacy for re-election
this week, told the voters the gov-
ernor’s race this year is going to
be a mere sideshow, and the-big
excitement was going to be over
the election of 150 House mem-
bers and 14 Senators.
That is probably as the gover-
nor would like to have it. But
political developments of the
week-end indicated O’Daniel may
be as wrong about this as he' has
been about some other things dur-
ing the last two years, i
In the first place, O’Daniel him-
self made his prediction* Improb-
able when he laid the chief issue
of the campaign—his transaction

declared for a

candidates are agreed must be im-
posed, without crippling any line
of business or industry.
.The situation thus far is this:
All the announced or declared
candidates admit some additions
taxation will be required, to meet
teachers pensions, aid to the blind,
aid for dependent children, and
old age pensions. Their estimates
vary widely as to the"-amount
needed. O’Daniel is the most ex-
travagant; with his $60,000,000 fig-
ure. Sadler, with his bid for sup-
port of the “gibbecrats” through
advocacy of new State grants and
charities, is probably next, al-
though he is less definite about
the total tax load he would im-
pose. Thompson calls for sub-
stantial increases in oil taxes, with
his “nickel for Grandma,” while
Hines, admitting frankly that the
governor can’t ao anything about
the kind or amount of taxes laid,
has so far merely promised to go
along with the legislature on any
reasonable tax program, except a
rales tail, which he strongly op-
poses.
Ferguson has at various times
advocated a retail sales tax, and
later, a" gross receipts tax, similar
to-that in use in Indiana. Nobody
knows what Old Jim would urge
Kt S.E" Pierce Brooks,
runner up to Coke Stevenson in
the last race for Lieutenant Gov-
ernon, is about ready to get in.
Smith, in ill health, postponed his
announcement for re-election, but
if he is able, best informed sources
here regard it as' certain he will
the voters will see all three mem-
stand for re-electiion. If he does,

running this year; Smith for re-
electioin, Sadler for Governor and
Thompson for Governor.
National Outlook
Sweeping victory for Roosevelt
delegates in New York and Wis-
consin drew “explanatory” state-
ments from Gene Germany aid
Miss Clara Driscoll in behalf of
Vice-President Garner, but the
latest Gallup poll, showing a
strong majority of Texas and
Oklahoma voters favor a third
term for Roosevelt, didn’t do the
Garner campaign any good. Jim
Farley came and went, was warm,
ly greeted, and talked very little
about national politics. Best guess
here is Farley is angling for sec-
ond place on the national ticket;
probably with Cordell Hull as the
nominee, and that Farley knows
or thinks Roosevelt will reject a
third term at what he considers
the proper time, which may be at
